 "...too bad '10 Years' isn't, you know, funny. At least it's well-meaning and nostalgic... this flick is a reunion for anyone who's laughed at anything in the last ten years." |

 "...painful.... With no plot to speak of, the movie's biggest twist is a closing cameo from 'Spider-Man' director Sam Raimi.... The whole thing is no good." |

 "Compared to an episode of your average television procedural, 'Arbitrage' has double the runtime and half the suspense... Jarecki's fatalism works against the film." |

 "Aselton clearly loses interest when the script shifts from drama to horror... her disregard for her male characters causes the film to spiral into dudette 'Deliverance.' " |

 "There's novelty in a romantic comedy that uses card tricks as foreplay.... The trade-off is that the actors are better at making coins disappear than emoting..." |

 "Andrew Stern smartly sees that our devices are just devices.... His attack sounds one-note, but it's the fallout that holds our interest..." |

 "...old-fashioned.... Wendy Kout's semi-autobiographical sitcom-like script bops along being inoffensive to everyone besides the homeless living on L.A.'s skid row..." |

 "...heartfelt.... It's a familiar show-biz soap opera.... yet almost despite our will, the cast keeps us invested in Filly's furious resurrection." |

 "...despite Novakovic's furious efforts to inject life into Mann's disaffected hipster ennui, neither the film, nor the film within the film, hold our attention. Bummer, Keanu." |

 "Antonio Méndez Esparza's cast of unknowns is so fresh and raw that the drama could be mistaken for a documentary if the camera work weren't so controlled..." |

 "...mindless.... Joe Piscopo isn't just too good for this film, he's too good to be giving it this much effort.... ludicrous..." |

 "...a golden-hued, feel-good treacle... Laurence Coriat's shapeless script pads its overlong running time with standard teen trauma that saps the audience's energy..." |

 "...the film's anthropological interest in Indonesia is the smartest thing in an otherwise familiar scramble of kidnapped babes, expensive jewelry and millions of bullets." |

 "...as much a salute to Italian horror legend Mario Bava as it is an actual film.... the confident, female-driven sensuality of this movie anchors this handsome nonsense." |

 "...for my money, it's Chastain's best performance yet.... damned if 'Mama' doesn't transcend its nonsense.... an honest-to-god film instead of a quickie horror cash-in..." |

 "Director Malcolm D. Lee's strategy is to out-stupid the competition.... at least a chimpanzee gets the film's fitting last line: 'Apes need to take over this planet.' " |

 "Is David inspired to become a better man? Let's just say the movie is determined to end in cinema history's biggest group hug.... amiable art-house fluff..." |
